Hey Everybody! I have just released my new electronic album “Sub-Zero” which is heavily inspired by the world and music of the Alone In The Dark series. If you're interested you can listen to the full album on my youtube channel, as well as download the album for free!
I loved the original Resident Evil, Silent Hill and Alone in the Dark games. Then some bright spark decided to make them purely action games, and fuck, was that ever a dumb idea? >=(
I really dont like resi 4, or 5. And i havent played silent hill since 2.
I did actually really enjoy the latest alone in the dark despite its major issues. I managed to look past them. Although I dont think it should have been called Alone in the dark. You were anything but alone.
I couldn't play this game because at the time I had an inhuman fear of clowns and the intro freaked me out so much, lol. I had held on to so many of my old games for so long, I wonder if I still have them somewhere.
This game was amazing for its era.I ve been a gamer for more than 2 decades and this is one of the best games I ve played.Unfortunatelly the offsprings of Alone in the Dark (Resident Evil,Silent Hill ect) while they were good they always lacked the fantastic cinematic atmosphere of aitd series.
I know. I got the Roms of 2 and 3 and found out he was the main in both of them. Also, new Carnby (GBC game, 2008 remake) look way different than old Carnby!
This is the second one for sure. This has graphics which are as good as the first game, albeit with a little less usage of digitized dark fantasy artwork (the game over screen in the first game for instance). ;)
As often as it is offered on so-called "Abandonware" websites (simply being an old game does not Abandonware make, if anything does at all), the original Alone in the Dark Trilogy is not abandonware. The companies which produced them (and those which own the rights to them today) have not released them freely (to my regret- I love these games).
this is classic horror, i dont know, is too dificult to male a game with this atmospherte but with todays technology?? aITD 4 and 5 lost the escence of AITD series
I need help tryin to find a game thats on PC. Its quite old cus i played it as a kid.
At the start you find the key to the haunted house inside a pumpkin i think. then you go inside and if you go into a certain room there if a dinner party and a vampire kinda gets you.
Weird i thout the 3DO version of AITD 1 was better than the PC version due to better grafik but AITD 2 is vice versa PC has better grafik than the 3DO atleast it looks that way.
Same. I was playing this game one time and I knew the theme it had this scary clown. Well I thought it past and right when I turned on the TV there he was scared me and made me fall back. I am stil yet to this day afraid to play this video.
Correct. This PC game was ported to the 3DO console in 1995, and it was also ported (and graphically revamped) to the PlayStation and Sega Saturn consoles in 1996.
It's funny how AITD came up with the "prerendered backgrounds 3D horror game" earlier and yet all later games with similar style are called "Survival horror", after Resident Evil.
Kinda like how all side-scrolling brawlers are called "Final Fight clones" when Double Dragon came before.
did he eat the guys brains, or something, but i think to keep to the old game it should have had the clown lift his head and then went silent for whole level
The frame rate is absolutely amazing, and the lack of text or voice to narrarate or describe the 'action' really gives me a chilling idea of why a clown that exists only in the little girls head would throttle an old man or detective by the back of his head to death. An old man that just happened to climb in through the little girls window to avoid a Zombie carrying an AK-47.
You know, surprisingly the graphics are really that bad. Aside from the characters that is, the way the perspective is with the background and just the overall textures with the glass of water/milk falling to the floor really is well done for that time. I almost see it as a sort of art style in a way.. I don't, just very interesting.
Don't ever forget that watching is not the same as playing! I play older DOS games from my collection, and within about 20 mins, the fact the graphics and sound is old just disappears as the great old-time gameplay that we have now lost in modern gaming grabs you and doesn't let go! :)
I think they are better. They can make facial expression, they can now have a bit of texture mapping and they can animate more models on screen at the same time.
I think they worked to make the resolution better, but more to lift some limitation from the first game.
I have a pentium 4, I download the game, but the sound doesn't work, i changed many configuration but doesn't work, somebody have a idea what is the problem?, exist a software that can simulate the true sound? please helpme that i want remember this fantastic game but without sound isnt so funny.
Don't they hang his ass from the mast of the pirate ship, all while they are celebrating and drinking whiskey, with some cool pirate music playing? Yeah, that was screwed up.
I absolutely adored this on the PSX, although the intro was far different in the sense that some bits weren't shown (The witch hearing the noises above // Entering the room after the clown had strangled the detective). The game itself had some fiendish puzzles and some of the weapons were funny (Slapping zombies upside the face with a small ping-pong racket). Some of the music, although Midi-Like, was very catchy also.
alone in the dark 1 is better than alone in the dark 2
